how to create a chrome desktop shortcut


how to create app shortcut  .. that is from chrome.  This creates the shortcut but removes the url bar and buttons.

To get all that back do the following...

1. After you created your shortcut.
2. Right click on the icon you created on your desktop and select properties.
3. In the target part find "--app=http://...." and REMOVE only "--app=".  Press apply and ok.

Now clicking the icon will open your website in the chrome browser

OR

1. bookmark the page.
2. open the bookmark manager.
3. locate the website, then drag and drop the icon to your desktop.

However this way doesn't pull the nice favico image.
